Eggnog Truffles Recipe

Since a couple people have expressed interest in this recipe, I'll go ahead and post it, so you guys don't have to wait until I actually try them. It looks really yummy, and fairly simple. I'll post the recipe with pictures on my food blog once I've made them, but in the meantime:

Eggnog Truffle Cups
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tsp. shortening
6 tbsp. eggnog
1 package (10-12 oz) vanilla or white chips
1/2 tsp. extract (recipe calls for rum extract, but I would use vanilla or almond)
1/4 to 3/4 tsp. nutmeg

In microwave-safe bowl, melt semisweet chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Using a narrow pastry brush, brush the inside of 1-inch foil candy liners with 1/2 tsp. melted chocolate. Freeze for 45 minutes or until firm.

Using 1/4 tsp. chocolate mixture for each cup, brush on another layer of chocolate. Freeze until firm.

In a small saucepan, bring eggnog to a boil over low heat. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla chips until melted; stir in extract. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until filling begins to set.

Spoon or pipe 1 1/2 tsp. filling into each cup. Freeze until firm. Carefully remove and discard foil cups. Cover and store truffles in an airtight container in refrigerator. Just before serving, sprinkle with nutmeg.

Yields 3 dozen.
